[Verse 1] The forest opened, And out he came — A shaggy laugh From an old forgotten tale. I knew if I stopped moving, I would hear her call my name. So I kept on dancing Like the dance could save me. [Chorus] Dance, Till the night comes down. Dance with the shadow While your heart still pounds. Dance, Don’t you turn around. For the one who sees a lover in death May never make it back. [Verse 2] He stamped his feet, He laughed without anger. The forest clapped along With branches and with leaves. And I danced For myself and for you, For all those silent years When I had forgotten how to grieve. [Chorus] Dance, Till the night comes down. Dance with the shadow While your heart still pounds. [Dub Dance] Dance... dance... dance... Don’t stop... don’t stop... don’t stop... [Bridge] And suddenly Everything went still. Even the bass Beneath the ground. And then I heard her Right beside me. One word. One voice. And all the weight Went out of the world. [Verse 3] I followed the voice Through the roots and stones. The earth slipped away From under my feet. But in that moment I wasn’t falling. It felt to me Like I was finally going home. [Final Chorus] Dance, Till the night comes down. Dance with the shadow While your heart still pounds. Dance, Till the trees go black. Dance for the one You can never bring back. Dance, Don’t you turn around. For the one who follows love into death May never touch the ground. [Outro] Dance... while the heart still knows. Dance... where the dark wind blows. Dance... dance... Don’t stop now.
